It is then infused with other aromatic alpine herbs to create a harmonious liqueur with a characteristic fragrant bouquet and a distinctive fresh, taste.

Ferruccio de Bernard established his Distilleria dellAlpe in 1948 in Bastia dAlpago, a small hillside village in the sweeping Cansiglio forest of the Italian Oriental Alps.

Among his new recipes Ferruccio has patented an enigmatic drink, Kapriol liqueur, commonly known as Distillato del Bosco (Distillate of the Forest). This herbal liqueur is produced in the same location as the juniper berries are collected, and infused with herbs and sugar using a long and complex distillation process.

In 2002 Beniamino Maschio took over Distilleria dellAlpe with the intention of developing a variety of liqueurs typical of the Venetian traditions.
